reEnergize Lincoln provides $2,000, or more, to make homes more comfortable and save people money! The reEnergize Program is a collaboration between Omaha and Lincoln aimed at putting money back into the community by reducing our energy use through upgrades like air sealing, insulation, efficient furnaces or air conditioners, and lighting efficiency, by increasing property values, and by building the energy upgrade market.
